After setting up camp, Ao Lie discussed military information with everyone in the central army tent.

Tian Chou took the lead and said, "Reported to the lord, the day before yesterday, Chou looked at the Huns' military formation from a distance on the mountain and found that the Huns were as cruel as tigers and leopards, and the war horses were as fast as the wind, coming and going freely. However, their military formation was loose, which was the most beneficial point for our army." Tian Chou quickly entered his role and analyzed the matter clearly.

Lu Bu looked at Tian Chou with a slight surprise in his eyes. For Zhang Liao, who is also a warrior, Lu Bu could feel his momentum, and also observe Zhang Liao's martial arts through his body shape and posture, and recognize Ao Lie's behavior of accepting Zhang Liao as his deputy general. However, for Tian Chou, who was not capable of being able to tie a chicken, but was quite weak in Lu Bu's eyes, he never understood why Ao Lie entrusted him with important tasks as soon as he met him.

However, through Tian Chou's analysis just now, Lu Bu understood Ao Lie's intentions. Although this man was a hunter and had a low status, he had a bit of vision. He revealed the combat characteristics of the Huns in one sentence.

So, Lu Bu said, "I have been in the border for a long time and know the fighting style of the Huns coming and going like the wind. This is a typical wolf pack tactic."

Zhang Liao lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "In my opinion, the Huns have been plundering in succession, and their troops are ten times more arrogance than our army. In this battle, we cannot fight and consume, but can only be wise. We will try to hold the Huns' army first. When the prefect leads the army, our army is attacking from the side."

Ao Lie stretched out his two fingers and knocked on the table, and said in a pondering manner: "What you said makes sense, but I thought that the Huns had plundered several times and they would definitely think that our great Han could be bullied and had become arrogant soldiers. As the saying goes, arrogance will be defeated. I want to set up an ambush in this battle and catch the Huns off guard."

When Lu Bu and others heard Ao Lie's strategy, their eyes lit up. That's right, the Huns are already arrogant at this moment. If our army set up an ambush, the Huns would definitely crash into the ambush circle with arrogance.

Tian Chou thought carefully for a moment and said, "Lord, twenty miles northwest, there is a mountain called Balin Mountain. There is a river surrounded by the mountain. The Huns called it the Urgilen River, and the Han people called it the Wuhe River. The Wuhe flows around the Balin Mountain, and the water is turbulent. It is better to find a way to lure the Huns to the Balin Mountain. As long as you keep the only land passage, the Huns will not escape."

Upon hearing this, Ao Lie thought carefully and thought the plan was feasible. He said, "It's settled. Wenyuan, you click on the fifty soldiers and follow someone to investigate the terrain. Then Zitai leads the way. Brother, please lead your army to guard the camp." Lu Bu and the other three agreed in unison.

After leaving the camp, Ao Lie and dozens of other cavalry rushed towards Balin Mountain in the northwest. When they were about to run to the foot of Balin Mountain, Tian Chou came to Ao Lie and pointed to a not far away and said, "Master, please see, it is Balin Mountain. Now we are walking on a path without the Wu River circulation. At most, this path can only accommodate seven or eight cavalry in parallel. The other three sides are in the Wu River circulation."

Ao Lie nodded to show his understanding, and then he first ran into the Balin Mountain. After running around Balin Mountain, Ao Lie had a rough impression of the mountains and rivers, and felt that it was indeed suitable for setting up an ambush. So he took out a charcoal pen and white silk and began to draw the map seriously. Zhang Liao and Tianchou came to Ao Lie and looked at the map drawn by Ao Lie, and couldn't help but praise it. The maps of the Eastern Han Dynasty were very simple and could not be compared with the maps of later generations. Although Ao Lie was limited to the sciences of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It is impossible to create a 3D stereoscopic map, but it is not difficult to draw an accurate and detailed map using the scale method. This is completely unworthy in Ao Lie's opinion, but it is different in Zhang Liao and Tianchou's eyes. In the future, as long as the scouts in front can draw such a picture, it will not only facilitate the general to formulate a combat policy, but also allow the soldiers in the rear to have a rough understanding of the terrain of the war, so that they will not be distorted when the war begins.

Zhang Liao was even more impressed by Ao Lie at this moment: "My lord, the picture you drew is really ingenious and amazing. If our army trained half of the scouts in the future, then we can rest assured." Perhaps because of Tian Chou, Zhang Liao also changed his words to Ao Lie as the lord, not the second son.

Ao Lie didn't care about Zhang Liao's title, but was stunned by Zhang Liao's words. He thought to himself: Famous generals are famous generals, and his ability to learn from others is really not a big deal. He smiled and said, "After this battle, how about the formation of a scout, I will leave it to Wen Yuan?"

Zhang Liao bowed his fists and replied, "The lord's order, even if Liao is so heartless, he will definitely live up to his lord's entrustedness." Ao Lie waved his hand and said seriously: "I don't need you so heartless, and Zitai is the same. Now the Han Dynasty is in danger, and I need you to live well. In the future, I will follow my lord to fight on the battlefield and re-establish my lord's power." Zhang Liao and Tian Chou heard this, and were grateful inexplicably. They both knelt on the ground and said in unison: "I lord's lord's death!"

In the evening, Ao Lie and others returned to the camp. As soon as they entered the tent of the central army, they saw Lu Bu coming forward with joy. They grabbed Ao Lie's hand, looked around Ao Lie carefully, and said, "If you come back later, you will go to find you. How did you survey the terrain for so long? I thought you were discovered by the Huns."

Ao Lie was very moved and felt that the elder brother Lu Bu in front of him was becoming increasingly inconsistent with the one described in history. No matter what, it was a matter of such a sworn brother that made Ao Lie very happy. So he said, "I'm worried about it, aren't you here to come back? I just missed some time during the investigation."

When Lu Bu heard this, he asked, "How is it? Can Balin Mountain be set up?" Ao Lie patted the map in his hand and said, "Let's discuss it carefully."

Everyone sat down, Ao Lie was still sitting in the main seat. Lu Bu sat slightly to the left next to Ao Lie, Zhang Liao and Tianchou sat under Ao Lie's right hand. Ao Lie spread out the map, pointed to the path to enter Balin Mountain, and said, "This is the key to this ambush. Our army must firmly control this place in order to trap the Huns who lured into Balin Mountain in it. Brother, the task of guarding this throat will be given to you." Lu Bu nodded without thinking and replied, "Okay! I will definitely guard this place and not let the Huns go even if they are a horse."

Ao Lie nodded and continued, "Another key factor in setting up this ambush is how to lure the Huns into Balin Mountain with light clothes. Wenyuan, you will lead 200 soldiers to pack dry firewood, nitrocarbon and other fire-induced objects in sacks overnight, covering the surface with food and grass, and tomorrow they will be a grain transport convoy to lure the Huns into Balin Mountain." Zhang Liao replied loudly: "No!"

After looking at Tian Chou, Ao Lie continued, "Zi Tai, you have lived here for a long time, and you must be very familiar with the nearby villages?" Tian Chou replied, "Yes." Ao Lie nodded and said, "Then, you lead the fifty soldiers to disguise themselves as ordinary people, go out of the camp overnight, and spread news to nearby villages, saying that our army is responsible for escorting a piece of food and grass to Youzhou, and will pass by the Balin Mountain around noon tomorrow." Tian Chou replied, "No!"

After breathing a sigh of relief, Ao Lie straightened his body, looked around the people in the tent, and said slowly: "The success or failure of our army is here to defeat it."

The next day, Zhang Liao and two hundred soldiers were escorting thirty large trucks and slowly advancing on the official road near Balin Mountain. A sergeant smiled and said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang, do you think, the second young master, uh, the major general's strategy can work?" Zhang Liao smiled, looked at the sergeant asking questions, and whispered: "Is it OK? I don't know, but I am willing to take this bet. I believe that the lord is a proud dragon among people and will surely soar into the sky in the future." The sergeant asked the question repeatedly and said:

"By the way, I heard that when the major general was born, the prefect was still the magistrate of Wuyuan County. At that time, with the birth of the major general, the burning clouds in the sky actually condensed into a dragon, a red dragon!" Zhang Liaoqi said: "Be serious?" The soldier patted his chest and replied affirmatively: "It's not wrong. At that time, this incident spread, and people in the entire Wuyuan County saw it. Can there be any fakes? One of my distant cousins ​​was a county official in Wuyuan at that time, and he told me in person."

At this time, another soldier also came forward and whispered: "Yes, I am from Wuyuan County and have been following the prefect. At that time, I witnessed the spectacular scene with my own eyes. Not only me, General Zhang can ask the brothers in the army at will, and all brothers from Wuyuan know about this."

Zhang Liao turned around and looked at the direction where Ao Lie was behind him, thinking to himself: It turned out that the lord had a natural phenomenon when he was born, and he would definitely achieve great achievements in the future! Therefore, his belief in following Ao Lie to fight became even stronger.

Suddenly, a whistle came from afar. It came! Zhang Liao thought to himself that it was a unique combat slogan of the Huns. So he raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, set up a formation!" Two hundred elite soldiers immediately flapped down their war horses and spread out in the shape of geese wings. After a while, everyone felt the earth trembling, which was the vibration caused by the Huns' war horses trampling on the earth. From the frequency of the vibration, the Huns' war horses were at least about a thousand.

Finally, the figure of the Huns appeared in the eyes of Zhang Liao and others. Thousands of Hun cavalry were waving their sabers and whistling and galloping towards them. The leader was with a wild pheasant tail on his head and a wolf hair on his shoulder. The soldier who was familiar with the customs of the Huns shouted: "That is the Zuoxian King of the Huns!"

Upon hearing this, a trace of anger flashed in Zhang Liao's eyes. Humph, is this Zuo Xianwang who snatched his mistress? If it weren't for his fate, he would definitely step forward and kill you under the knife. However, Zhang Liao was a famous general after all, and knew his responsibilities and knew that hatred often covers people's eyes and makes people lose their minds. Obviously, Zhang Liao would not do such things that are unreasonable.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhang Liao raised the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!" When the two hundred soldiers sergeants swayed in the shape of a geese wing heard Zhang Liao's order, they immediately let go of the bowstring. Two hundred sharp arrows left the string and shot towards the Huns. Without looking at the results of the battle, Zhang Liao then issued another order: "Bring the carriage and horses and retreating to the Balin Mountain." The two hundred soldiers quickly put away their bows and arrows, drove the carriage, and followed Zhang Liao to withdraw their troops to Balin Mountain.

The losses caused by two hundred sharp arrows to thousands of Hun cavalry were negligible, but they successfully aroused the cruelty of the Huns. This time, this time, the invasion of the Han Dynasty was not arbitrary life and death? Which time did not allow the Han people to escape? But this time, someone dared to fight back. Moreover, seeing that the soldiers carriages were very concerned about the appearance of the carriages, the rumors were probably true, and those carriages must have military pay for Youzhou!

The leader of Zuo Xianwang whistled, turned around the air with a sabre in his hand, and then pointed in the direction of Zhang Liao's retreat. This was the usual command of the Huns when fighting. Zuo Xianwang was commanding thousands of cavalry under his command to follow up.

Soon, Zhang Liao led his troops to retreat into the Balin Mountain. Under the leadership of Zuo Xianwang, the Huns cavalry chased into the Balin Mountain without thinking. Zhang Liao led his troops to resist for a little while, and then they were defeated and fled out of the mountain. Some of the Huns cavalry wanted to go forward to chase, but were stopped by Zuo Xianwang. In the words of Zuo Xianwang, the Han people's military pay was still attractive compared to the Han deserters.

But the next moment, Zuo Xianwang was furious! Where is the military pay? The thirty-two trucks were loaded with dry firewood and nitrocarbon, and there was no grain of food! This was only blamed for Tian Chou being unkind. In order to be realistic, Ao Lie ordered Zhang Liao to install a little food to tempt the Huns. However, Tian Chou, who had a deep understanding of the greedy and cruel nature of the Huns, found Zhang Liao privately, and asked Zhang Liao to only install dry firewood and nitrocarbon, and patted his chest to ensure that those brainless Huns would catch up without distinguishing the authenticity.

Then, Zhang Liao did as Tian Chou said. Then, Zuo Xianwang became furious. Then, there was nothing left. Thinking with his heels, Zuo Xianwang knew that he had been trapped. Zuo Xianwang, who was very familiar with the terrain, suddenly woke up. This was Balin Mountain! There was a Urgilen River at the foot of Balin Mountain! As long as the Han army used 200 dead soldiers and held the not-wide exit with bows and arrows, it would be impossible for him to go out! What's more, there were thirty large trucks of dry firewood and nitrocarbon around him! As long as the Han army shot a round of rockets, his more than a thousand people would be finished!
Chapter completed!
